The great variety of the wall decorations in this station merits their classification among the system's artworks. All upper levels of the station are decorated with angular, random, zigzagging reliefs incised into the concrete walls, some very high. At platform level, a repeated series of panels gives a wave-like pattern in the rough concrete. The two techniques combine in a varied and lively decor despite the almost complete lack of colour.
